GAS-BURNER ATTACHMENT FOR HEATING CURLlNG-IRONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 523,187, dated July 17, 1894. Application filed January 29, 1894. Serial No, 498,324. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, WILLIAM H. WELL- POTT and OTTO F. BOELLNER, of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Burner At-- construction, efficiont and capable of being attached to any gas jetand of holding any of the various forms of curling irons.

Our invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter specified and designated in the claims.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the preferred form of our device. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a modified form of our device, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of our device in position upon.the gas jet tube and holding the hair curling iron in position to heat the portion so required.

Similarfigures referto similar parts through.

out the several views.

Referring now to Fig. l, the holder here shown is constructed of a single piece of wire 1, which has previously been cut the length desired to form the holder. The circular loop 2 is formed in the central portion in the length of the wire and the wire then twisted as shown by the portion 3, said portion 3 extending vertically from the loop 2. The loop 4 is now formed in the wire at a point directly above the loop 2, this loop 4 being slightly smaller than said loop 2. The wire is now twisted into the portion 5 and extends outwardly and rearwardly from the loop 4 and is formed into a rest 6. It is now bent outwardly at 7', twisted into the portion 8, and extends on and is formed into handle holders 9 and 10.

Referring now to Fig. 2, the device here shown is constructed of a single piece of tin or sheet metal, which in the manufacture, is cut or stamped from sheet tin by dies, or in any suitable manner, and formed into the holder here shown. This form of our device is in every way similar to the one shown in Fig. 1, it being provided with the lower loop 2, upwardly extending portion 3, loop 4,portion 5, rest 6, arm 8, and handle holders 9 and 10.

In Fig. 3 the device is shown attached to a gas-jet tube, said gas-jet tube being numbered 11, the curling iron held by our device being numbered 12,

In the practical use of our device, the loops 2 and 4 slip over and engage the gas-jet tube 1.1. The gas now being lighted, the hair curling iron is introduced between the handle holders 9 and 10 and placed in such a position that theportion desired to be heated will come directly over the flame as it rests in the portion 6.

Our device may be constructed of diiferent materials and in a slightly altered form.

Thus it will be seen that We have provided a simple and efficient curling iron holder, one that is detach-able, portable, quickly adjusted and cheap in manufacture.

What we claim as new is A hair curling iron holder adapted to be placed upon a gas-jet tube consisting of a single piece of metal having loops 2 and 4, vertical portion 3, rearwardly extendingportion 5, rest 6, arm 8, and handle holders 9and 10, substantially as shown, and for the purposes specified.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures 80 in presence of two witnesses.
